I thought BBE was gonna be crazy, until they did the Will I am and King Britt albums in the beat generation series, instead of lets say Madlib's. There were rumors of a collabo Wolf and Madlib on that series but never came. Too bad.

I look at BBE as the "Behind the Music" of record labels or like a documentary of music if that makes sense. Kind of like all producers eventually wanna have a BBE album/tell their story (I dunno how to explain it)

i dont see the comparison either!! the only halfway decent things bbe put out (since "welcome to detroit") have been compilations - sure theyre put together well by interesting folk but its not new music. worst of all by a million miles is how out of control the design for 'the shining' got!!! absolute lowest-common-denominator rubbish, nothing to do with the contents of the lp at all... AND IT WAS ALL PIXELATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD!!! whats wrong with them!! i dont much like 'the shining' either. there, i said it.

the album was VERY soulful, but phontes flow and lyrics are just tooooooo amazing, how can you not like soul-type beats and be a dilla fan.lol, ......you are a dilla fan....right?

yeah. but dilla always delivers some kind of rawness in his production. that makes it for me. and seriously... nicolay vs. dilla... its not that i don't like it. i just dont like it enough to really get into it.
